If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I am suitably afraid.
Every time I watch it I like it better. The only thing that remains as bleh as I thought it was at first is Juggernaut. Oh and Halle 'look how badass I am' Berry.
Saw Madrox that time around.
edit: Maybe killing off the Prof made it easier for the scriptwriter to squidge in Wolverine and Storm leading the X-Men into many Big Fights.
Plus, it makes us hate Jean Grey for killing her boyfriend and father-figure and for wanting to sex the Logan when Storm clearly also wants to sex him.
Then we can have them fighting over him.
And that makes lots of money.

Yes - Magneto!
Or Juggernaut?
Loving the spoilerness of this topic. Normally I'd be annoyed, but I have such low expectations for this film that I really don't give a toss!
Grrr. Argh.

Which actress? Summer?
You can put Summer in absolutely anything ever and I'd happily watch. Mmmm.
Jewel and Morena are nicer, though. Glau's got a sort of awkwardness about her, which is odd when you consider how graceful she is. Bit gangly.
Anyway. Too old, I think. Kitty = the baby of the bunch. Summer can pull off the whole youngest member thing on Firefly because everybody else is so much older. But X-Men has a fairly young cast anyway (Bobby, Rogue). Ergo Kitty needs to be somebody a lot more cute and kiddish.
Mmm. Jewel Staite...
Grrr. Argh.

Guy with a helmet? That's Vinnie Jones.
And, yes, he's the Juggernaut.

They should've given Vinnie Jones more clothes.
Have the helmet be the "Juggernaut"-thingy that makes you go "Oh, it's him!" and then cover up his body with some clothing. 'Cause that looks ridiculous
Can't believe I'm still here.

Juggernaut looks more like he does in Ultimate X.

Hm, that trailer doesn't enthuse me at all. And I loved the first two films. And their trailers.

Cause they were crap. Pure. Utter. Crap.
I still payed money to watch them in theater, but I hated the direction they went with the storyline. I still don't like it, I'm just hoping the new one will somewhat makeup for it.

1. was so-so. But 2. - what was the point? Not much happening in a whole movie. It felt like an outdrawn episode of a series. Plus the main threat by the humans was, meh. Magneto dealt with them in 5 seconds.
Plus, it butchered characters like Deathstrike and Mastermind. Poor sods never even had lines...

I'm not even going to try to argue that I thought the first 2 movies were good, rather I'l just say that I thought the first one was good, and that the second one was great.
In the top 5, among these kinds of movies.

I think they were great too - they could have been so much worse, in whole I think they got alot of it right. anyhows.
The new trailer looked fantastic, im not overly convinced by Jugernaughts body but on the whole it looked great, Beast looked superb.
